I live in a country where wireguard, openvpn and other vpn protocols have been blocked. Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnels don’t wok either. I do have a public ip and my router supports DMZ and port forwarding. For security concerns I’m not willing to forward ports. Is there any other method to use my VPS to forward traffic to my home server?

    What is your ultimate goal? Are you trying to host stuff from your home though the VPS? Or are you trying to use the VPS as an internet connection? Or something else.

    I would follow the other comments first try OpenVPN over 80 or 443 or SSL.

    If your just interested is using the VPS’s internet at home you could look at a hosting an internet proxy from the VPS. I think that would be all HTTPs traffic so it would just look like normal web traffic to the outside world and be hard to detect. Although it would limit your traffic to just HTTP traffic.

    If your just trying to access your network remotely though the VPS. Depending on what kind of access you need. You could look at something like hosting Meshcentral on your VPS. It is mostly for remote controlling computers so you could access your network via a local computer or you could look at a feature called meshcentral router.

    You can install that on a laptop and then used that to remote port to a local port on your laptop.

      My goal is to be able to access local services running in a NUC at home. Currently it’s Jellyfin and i plan to set up Immich too for backing up photos.

      I currently use Xray/Shadowsocks on the same vos to bypass the censorship, but they are proxies not VPNs.

      Never heard of meshcentral‌, will have a look at documentation. Thanks.
